Everything around us: political tumult and weaponization of the justice system, ICE and other capricious projections of federal authority, the failure of drug prohibition, and on and on and on, points to a very simple solution: Abolish SWAT

I wonder what will win out: first party solutions that fiddle with context under-the-hood, or open solutions that are built on top and provide context management in some programmatic and model-agnostic way. I'm thinking the latter, bot

Dang, I'm building this too. Is everybody building this?

Yep, my music is already on bandcamp: https://justinholmes.bandcamp.com/ ...but I think that the decentralized solutions are even better.

All of my music is already on Bandcamp and Tidal. I just haven't gone the next step and pulled it from Spotify.

by jMyles 1y ago
Yeah, as I said, I prefer my fans get my music from IPFS or Bit Torrent or some other decentralized place. I have the same objections to Apple Music that I have to Spotify and all the rest of the DRM crooks.

This is one of (though not the only) reasons I'm uncomfortable having my music on Spotify. I do still publish there, but I vastly prefer my fans grab my music via IPFS or Bit Torrent. It's so bizarre that someone hovering over the

Yeah I'm honestly not sure. Systems of regulation (ie, achieving regularity) need to be developed that don't depend on the state.

A simple, interesting, and too-often-unspoken answer is that LLMs, especially with 100k+ context heaps, seem to be better at tasks that have contextual significance and scenery than they are at following one-off instructions. Or at least, t

At the risk of sounding knee-jerk libertarian (though there are worse ways to sound), it seems to me that top-down, big bloc regulation is a non-trivial piece of what has gotten into this mess. The entrenchment via regulatory capture at the

Yep, I do that too. Rechargable projector, which I charge during the day, and also a few power blocks in case it needs more. But nothing beats working in the sunshine on an RLCD (as I'm doing while I type this to you). It's just

My apologies - I didn't mean to speculate about this incident in particular, but about the general role of so-called "regulation"; I thought it was unfair to minimize the role of the people and unions compared to the (in my v
